[New-bugs-announce] [issue16467] frozen importlib required for extending Python interpreter not public

[Anthony Tuininga]

New submission from Anthony Tuininga:

With Python 3.3, the ability to create a Python interpreter independent of a Python installation (as is done with cx_Freeze and other such freezing tools) has become more difficult to accomplish. Py_Initialize() requires the presence of a frozen importlib module which is found in importlib.h, but that include file is not available in the public include files section of a Python distribution. I have copied it for my use but that seems wrong. Please advise on how this should take place now. Thanks.
